Easy English for Busy People

ELEMENTARY TO PRE-INTERMEDIATEHelen Costello

Easy English for Busy People is a pain-free way of learning the essential basics of the English language, set to music! This course is specifically targeted at Polish and Russian speakers wanting to grasp the elements of basic English quickly. The vocabulary is very practical, focusing on functional language that helps the speakers settle in a country where English is the predominant language spoken. This includes language to help rent a house, open a bank account and buy a mobile phone. The specially composed music helps to embed the vocabulary in a similar way to a jazz chant, with listen-and-repeat exercises for pronunciation practice.
